[Fedora-directory-users] Recommend architecture

[Chris G. Sellers]

If you are simply using the directory to authenticate, then you can  
probably get by with a dual master setup each a small pizza box from  
your favorite vendor. ( 2Ghz Core2 Duo, 2GB RAM, some SATA RAID disk  
for mirroring, faster ethernet.  )

Index your authentication id (uid, cn).

If you plan to use it for more than just authentication, such as  
authorization (group ID membership or Shibboleth federated style  
authentication) or if you plan to allow UNIX interactive logins where  
name services will be provide (e.g. when you type ls at the command  
prompt it looks up each file to see who uidNumber 111 is) then you may  
want to spread the wealth a little more.   I can't comment on the  
sizing in that case as I've never had more than 40k accounts against a  
Master/Slave setup.

I hope that is helpful.
